I love that you Jon, & Matthew, Paul & Todd all seemingly have bad-ass passion for guitars, & you operate like my late Father used to say: "Do it right, or don't do it at all." And he was a WWII Veteran - Battle of the Bulge Master Sergeant.
Great humble as always full of knowledge, regarding mini hum buckers if you choose to make original mini PAF ones similar to the early ones from early Epiphones you will be hero , they are rare to find but man pure joy very different than 70s ones by Gibson I know coz I got 1960 original stickered PAF mini from sorento and to fit it in my les Paul deluxe had to route deeper
ThroBak Guitar Lounge no sir even though those ones been fantastic examples designed by Seth lover and you can find them in the chris isaac model , I mean the early ones from 1960 till 1962 you find them in Epiphone Sorento and Crestwood but only 2 years been with the PAF decal they are built the same way with purple enamel wire nickel covers .
ThroBak Guitar Lounge also the readings range of the 70s Gibson ones which is built differently from the early 60s rare ones , 70s ones usually from 6.2 to 6.7 ish but early ones hotter 7.5 to 8 ish , mine reads 7.4 and you get the characteristics of the big ones with overtones and bloom but on a bit diff frequency range as strings exposed to smaller pickup .
Haha I am one of the people who asked about mini-humbuckers - and the guitar you are playing is similar to the one I want to put mini-humbuckers in. LOL
Jon; get an old Gibson EB-0. I have a ‘62 EB-0 and it’s fun to play! I put flatwound Pyramid Gold strings on it. They’ve been on for 4 years and sound great.!
Thanks for using my question about the M69 rings. I'd be interested to get Jon's take on vintage vs. new abr1's, seeing as you guys sell a reissue. Theres lot's of talk about current bridges not sounding as good as original 50s/early 60s.
I'd really like to know more about the guitar parts you offer through your website. Bridges, tailpieces, tuners, wiring harnesses, etc. I'd like to know if you find them superior to other NOS spec parts on the market and why. I'd also like to thank you guys for always educating us and giving us vintage guitar geeks a place to nerd out. - Paulie.
ThroBak repro P.A.F. covers have been widely considered the best on the market from the moment we introduced them years ago. I think the Luxe Bumble Bee capacitors we use in our wiring harnesses are super accurate to vintage in tone and look. Our bridges and tuners are Kluson brand that we age to match our P.A.F. covers. I have been very happy with them.
Is it true that the the catalyst for the PAF was to replicate the sound of a P90 without the him, or was it simply to develop a new hum canceling style pickup? Which of your PAF's is closest to the P90 sound?
P90’s and P.A.F.’s have many design details in common. Both use is he same wire, the same total number of screws, same pole screws, same magnet and same keeper bar. The prototype P.A.F. Pickups even used trimmed down P90 bobbins. Recorded, they sound similar also. But they are different in response when you play them. I can’t single out a ThroBak P.A.F. As being more P90ish though.
What I find strange is Gibson does not actually say they are using CAB or butyrate rings. They say they are true historic plastics made from molecular level analysis delivering authentic vintage design. It is has bit of double speak tone that would not be needed if you just said butyrate or CAB.
@@ThroBakChannel Maybe next year they'll "go down to the molecular level" and get the font right on the Gibson logo. That's been a bridge too far on $10,000 guitars so far

The mini- humbucker you made for the D’Angelico sounds amazing! Mine sounds like a Johnny Smith!

Are you talking about the minis with offset pole screws or the ‘64 era minis you find in Epiphone Wilshires?

I don’t believe I’ve ever assembled the following words into a sentence before but....turn up the bass guitar.
Good show, thanx

I can confirm that ThroBak PAF covers are more accurate and look better than the stock VOS pickups.
Bloke on the left is in the right speaker. Bloke on the right is in the left speaker.
Yep. Need to switch that.

I have not done an A/B comparison but that’s a good idea for a video.

Informative video again! One suggestion, can you make the volume a little more louder?
"I feed them" 😂😂😂
Underfed, we are not.😊

i'm going to buy a pair of ThroBak paf pick-ups. then i'm going to look for a guitar to put them in.
Short scale basses are perfect for guitar players, especially short little farts like me. I have three of them. :o)
I’m taller and I prefer short scale also.
"Employee of the Month since 2008" ROFL!!!! Surprised you haven't had any HR issues.
Paul’s in charge of HR! So no issues.
LOL!
Gibson uses Butryate rings on their “ True Historic” models...supposedly..
What I find strange is Gibson does not actually say they are using CAB or butyrate rings. They say they are true historic plastics made from molecular level analysis delivering authentic vintage design. It is has bit of double speak tone that would not be needed if you just said butyrate or CAB.
They don’t use butyrate pickup bobbins but they use butyrate for M-69 rings?
